There can be many reasons for why the comment got flagged, it might be offensive to the author or maybe even the item itself.

Since we have rules on how to behave on the marketplaces, we can´t really afford anyone to be offensive to one another. It might ruin the entire idea behind this.

For example:

We can´t contact support to remove the “offensive” comment since it might take up to 24h to get it removed to that point. And one “offensive” comment might ruin sales, reputation and it might even cost you followers. This is why we have the function where you can flag a comment you find “offensive” or inappropriate.

You forgot one other posibility, some one could have pressed the wrong button(wanted to reply but flagged it) I have made this mistake a couple of times

Yeah, I see both your points. But my main point were to why we needed it, not to why his comments are flagged

I had just one point

No i agree it’s better to have this option, because negative comments can take down your sales.

It would be nice if an author can review a flagged comment, and change this(if theres no need to flag a comment) This will save a lot of time for Envato staff.
